In this funny, feel-good first-pet book, one aspiring dog owner and
her parents ponder--in wildly imaginative and hilarious detail--all the
best and worst outcomes of bringing home more dogs than you can
(literally) shake a stick at.
A young girl proclaims, "I want 100 dogs." In a twist, her parents
agree, but they have just one question: Where will 100 dogs sleep? Our
protagonist revises her request to 90 dogs. But how does one walk 90
dogs? A silly, subtractive counting tale and an over-the-top ode to the
joys (and woes) of canine company, this sweet and surprising story
proves that no matter how boundless your enthusiasm, when it comes to
finding the perfect pet, sometimes less really is more.
Written by bestselling author Stacy McAnulty and illustrated with
vintage flair by Claire Keane, this clever and funny picture book will
be a new favorite for readers and pet lovers everywhere--whether you
have no dogs, one dog, or one dog too many!
PERFECT FIRST-PET BOOK: Bursting with humor and charm, this is the
book for any child who has ever longed for a pet (or ten . . . or
twenty) and for families gently establishing realistic pet expectations.
FUN AND FUNNY COUNTING BOOK: This fun-to-read picture book delivers the
extra benefit of being a reverse counting book! Kids will delight in
counting down the number of dogs in this clever tale that subtly
demonstrates counting by tens. And, yes, you really can count the dogs
on each page!

illustrations, this pet book makes a wonderful gift for children,
teachers, and dog lovers of all ages.
